My approach to therapy
I teach the practice of mindfulness, the ability to closely observe the mind as it processes present and past experiences and how they affect our behavior. Within this framework, I integrate both psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral approaches to understanding issues that disrupt our lives
What you can expect from me
I try to help people feel increasing confidence in their ability to achieve a stable and comfortable state of mind.
